Another Fake Company
he had a feeling so did not hand over his details. [A Conservative MP who reportedly offered to lobby ministers on behalf of the gambling industry and leak a confidential policy document for up to £4,000 a month has had the party whip suspended. Scott Benton, the MP for Blackpool South, was caught by undercover reporters for the Times posing on behalf of a fake investment fund saying he could “call in favours” from colleagues and get “easy access” to ministers when queueing for parliamentary votes.] https://www.theguardian.com/politics...p-scott-benton But a Clip on all TV & Radio news has made Rishi jump on him. BBC News Text : [Tory MP Scott Benton was filmed offering to lobby ministers for a fake company in return for payments by undercover reporters posing as gambling industry investors, the undercover investigation found. Mr Benton, who was suspended as a Conservative MP after the story broke, did not pursue the role and no rules appear to have been broken.] Last edited by arista; 27-02-2024 at 06:16 PM. |

I can't stand Scott Benton.
Met him once and hopefully never ever again. A really ignorant, rude and arrogant individual. |

It was a more social event and he was extremely rude and arrogant, as a good number of others felt he was so too. It is however a more usual Con constituency. It only went Labour under Blair, stayed with Brown, Miliband and Corbyn in his first election. Since it's creation and now since 2019 it's always more been a Con seat other than that period I mention above. Awful man though, really ignorant in my opinion.
